Title: Apparatus and method for determining uplink ciphering activation time in universal mobile telecommunications system user equipment
Inventor: FUNNELL NICOLA M
IPC: H04W12/02
Filed: 2003-08-15
Granted: 2010-06-22
Abstract: The details of an apparatus and method for determining uplink ciphering activation time in universal mobile telecommunications system user equipment are disclosed herein. The ciphering activation time is determined for radio bearers other than RB2 by measuring the data rate on each target radio bearer during the time that it takes for a polling or RRC message sent from the user equipment UE to be acknowledged by the network UTRAN. For RB2, the uplink ciphering activation time is determined by taking into account the size of the RRC response message and the data already queued on RB2 for transmission.

Title: Temperature compensating insert for a mechanically leveraged smart material actuator
Inventor: MOLER JEFF
IPC: F03G7/00
Filed: 2003-07-03
Granted: 2014-03-25
Abstract: An apparatus having a smart material actuator (32), a support structure (12) and at least one temperature compensating material insert (38), either externally mounted to the support structure, integrally formed with the support structure, or any combination thereof. The apparatus includes a mechanically leveraged electrically stimulated smart material, such as piezoelectric material. The support structure and actuator are susceptible to the effects of differences in thermal coefficients of expansion of the materials used in the construction. The smart material typically displaces less than 0.001 inches and is leveraged up to fifty times to obtain useful movement. The temperature effect on the smart material is therefore leveraged and amplified producing undesirable motion in the apparatus with ambient and/or operating temperature changes. A method for dimensioning and placemat of a compensating insert with respect to the support structure provides an accurate and cost effective compensating insert.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés et un appareil de séparation de particules solides à partir d'un fluide. Une forme d'exécution préférée concerne un réservoir de séparation de particules par sédimentation du fluide, une chambre conique à la base du réservoir, une sortie reliée à la chambre conique, et un godet conique à l'intérieur de la chambre conique. Le réservoir peut présenter une entrée tangentielle, permettant de créer une circulation de fluide exerçant une force centrifuge sur les particules solides pour accroître la séparation par sédimentation des particules du fluide. Le résrvoir peut présenter une spirale statique sur la paroi intérieure contribuant à la coalescence des petites particules en plus grosses particules qui se séparent plus rapidement du fluide par sédimentation. La teneur, dans le fluide, des solides retirés du réservoir, peut être réglée en faisant varier la vitesse de rotation du godet conique. On peut faire varier la vitesse de rotation du godet conique en fonction du couple requis pour entraîner en rotation le godet conique.
